Thank you all for the wonderful comments and e-mails from my last post. It's been working out really well working for myself. It gets a little unnerving at times thinking I don't have a guaranteed paycheck on the way, but it's overall the best move I could have made.

We chatted over e-mail about incorporating her new (adorable) cat Marlo into my style for a commission. Usually I dread personalizing my artwork with another person's ideas, but this time I was really excited for realizing Marlo as a folk character in striking New Mexican textile inspired garments. I created a little narrative of Marlo as a fisherman (Ada says he's big into water and suspects him as a fisherman in a past life) and a portrait of Marlo as a shamanic figure holding a scorpion (another nod to the Southwest).

This might be my last post here on the ol' blogspot. I'm crossing my fingers the tumblr site will be up this week. I'm so excited! I hope you all keep in touch.
